Resumen

To ensure sustainable system of freight transport is necessary to provide efficient transport services with significant focus on level of customer service. The air transport system is very often the part of logistics chain in intermodal freight transport by using the air containers. Because of this it is necessary to identify and calculate the level of possible constraints that may have the negative impact on the efficiencies of realised logistics chain. This evaluation should be realised by the software application that provides to logistics operators, freight forwarders, carriers and other entities the user friendly interface. Based on the research realised at University of ?ilina, Department of Railway transport, there was created Microsoft Excel application that evaluates the level of constraints by setting weights to selected criteria. These criteria represent the possible constraints in proposed logistics chain. Based on these criteria this application evaluates the weights of these criteria by using the multi-criteria analysis method (Saaty method) and compare two different variants of proposed logistics chain with using the air transport system. The result of the software evaluation helps easily to choose the better variant of realisation of logistics chain by the comparison of constraints in two different variants of proposed logistics chains.
